Why isn't there a 'raise eyebrow' smiley, need one right now.

But I love my amarr assault bonus alot makes for more pew pee lights from my pew pee gun (laser)

Ferroscale and reactive bonus?
Really?

It should be even higher than the shield bonus, because those are terrible


You should also remember that at least two slots are used for armor repairs, so armor plate HP should at least be double that of a shield module of the same level. (It's true right now at prototype, but at STD plates are like 3.8x from STD extenders)

I think assaults need to STFU. The devs have bent over backwards for them for far too long. Assaults are middle of the road because they were made to be middle of the road. You're effective but boring, the shotos of Street Fighter, the fighter in D&D, the pawn in chess, the first wave of soldiers to storm Normandy, the cannon fodder in Starship Troopers, the red shirts in Star Trek and the storm troopers in Star Wars. Face the facts that other suits are going to be better than you in specific areas but have blaring weaknesses in others. You, you have no real weakness, your strength is mediocrity and your vast numbers. Either grow a pair and own that, or play a different class you find fun. Nobody is forcing you to play assault. Stop forcing others to give something up because you think it's greener on the other side of the fence.

Keep the assault role bonus of reduction to fitting cost of light/sidearm weapons.

I for one love this on my min assault, i can fit things i never thought possible and i have been wrecking people just fine. Thanks CCP for the CLIP bonus; I've used it VERY well!.

The only thing that needs to be looked at now is the slot configuration of the suits. I think the min assault would be better if it had a 3rd low slot. In fact you could say all assault suits need more slots as a perk for being middle of the road

Medium suits whether assault or logi should have a high slot count. I think its currently 7 for assault and 8 max for logi. I think it should be max 8 total high/low slot count. Assault suits are middle of the road so high customization should be what makes the assault a contender at the front. Assault suits could use the slot count for assaulting positions while the logi uses the slot count for support/logistics role.

Of course this would rearrange how one would partake in battle and hopefully find a way that is not exploitable or unfair.

In fact Commando suits to me are just beefier assaults with low customization, while assault should be high customization.
That is just me

...and this is why this game us completely ****ed up. Narrow minded views and FotM drama.

Here's a way to better define roles of the suits, WITHOUT arbitrary fitting limits, AND promoting certain play styles.

Assault suits should be the best at using light weapons. To accomplish this, I'd give them a 20-25% role bonus to the damage of light weapons. Then, I'd nerf light weapons across the board by the same amount. It gives Assault suits the same power as currently, but it disincentivizes the use of light weapons on sentinel suits.

Commandos would see a slight damage nerf here, yes, but I think the tradeoff for running a Commando suit is that you get "versatility of weapons" and durability. You can pick between two powerful light weapons (not making any sacrifice by using a sidearm) and you're tankier than the Assault suit. So, that defines the Commando vs assault role.

Scouts would see a nerf to their damage, as well, but that comes because you can innately sneak around better and you have the element of surprise. Scouts trade damage for better hacking potential, ease of travelling under cloak and gain the element of surprise (and stealth!) on the radar.

Logistics would have a damage nerf as well, but of course Logi brings so much to the table that when you're running logi, you shouldn't primarily be a slayer anyway. Versatility of equipment is what a Logi is there for; not slaying.

Sentinels of course would have a nerf with light weapons, but Heavy weapon damage is retained. Additionally, if a heavy decides to run a light weapon, he would have the most tank (and damage resistance).

In those examples, roles are defined, and each suit has tradeoffs for what it runs. Assault suits have the most light weapon potential, moderate speed, but it comes at the cost of being visible all the time.

These bonuses don't feel like "Assault" bonuses, I'm liking the ones we have except for the Caldari reload which is worthless.

I love my current Assault

Just wish my skills applied immediately in battle. I keep dieing cus I forget my gun has 25% less bullets in the mag than it should

But on the assault suits I'm very happy with my minmitar assault suit, since they took the 1 rep a second off it kinda needs 3 low slots though. Becausei used to run a cardiac regulator and a kin cat but not it's a armor repair instead of a kin cat I'm not very happy that they took away that 1 per second

i want that Armarr bonuse,my templar assault is useless
